A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.
First Bet the tag is tall enough and a little thick however it is not at the exact far left corner, Possibly it would be a havchanos tinok. Just my speculation not a psak.
Second picture: Although the picture is not so clear it still seems that they are not at all touching(possibly even to a tinok).The Shavet Halevy is machshir even when they are extremely close (as long as they are recognizable to an adult that they are not touching). Some are stricter on this issue and require a Havchanos tinok.
Yosef chodesh tov, In regard to the beis I agree it is a shaylas tinok. In regard to the ches (it is not totaly clear, but maybe that is the correct picture) to my opinion it is pasul, because it has become a ches. But, as Dovid wrote the Sheivet Halevi and other Rabbis say as long as it is not touching, there is no question involved and it is kosher. I wrote about this issue in length on posts earlier this month: "the word Bechor that the vav and caf are very close"
Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
